Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (March 8) - The Texas Brahmas announced today that the team has signed CHL-stalwart goaltender Ken Carroll.
Carroll is no stranger to the Brahmas' organization, having spent nine seasons with the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs. At the age of 24, the Oil City, Ontario native earned WPHL Most Outstanding Goaltender and Rookie of the Year honors for the 2001-02 season, posting a 27-9-1 record with a 1.89 goals against average and .935 save percentage. Carroll then went 11-2-0 in the playoffs en route to the Mudbugs' third consecutive President's Cup Championship.
The long-time Mudbug is the CHL's all-time leader in shutouts (31) and second in league history in victories (187). Carroll is also the only goaltender to be named to six CHL All-Star Games.
The 5'10'', 175-pound netminder will back up 2012 All-Star Mark Guggenberger, who currently leads the league in goals against average (1.87) and save percentage (.927).
The Brahmas are set for two home games this weekend: tonight at 7:30pm versus the Missouri Mavericks and Saturday, March 10 at 7:30pm versus the Laredo Bucks, both at the NYTEX Sports Centre. Tonight's game will include a post-game jersey auction, giving the fans a chance to win the limited edition, Pink in the Rink sweaters worn by the players. Texas is 19-5-4 at home this season and has won nine of its last 10 at the NYTEX Sports Centre and Fort Worth Convention Center.
